Highlight: "We knew from the outset that we wanted a video that was exciting and funny -- but also a bit unnerving," guitarist Xan McCurdy tells Spinner. "Alicia (J. Rose, our director) delivered that -- and more." Singer John McCrea adds, "We wanted a video that was both creepy AND life-affirming. I think we got more than we bargained for here."

Brooklyn is home to some of music's best up-and-coming rock bands, and the Freshkills are no strangers to that scene. They've been pushing the limits of lyricism with spoonfuls of New York grit since the beginning of the Brooklyn musical renaissance. The band tapped Jim Sclavunos (Sonic Youth) to produce their third release, 'Raise Up the Sheets,' a raucous new indie record.

The album's first single 'Positive Vibes,' captures the band's unique attitude. Lead singer Zachary Lipez uses stunted rhythms to inject immediacy throughout the choruses, blending the breeziness of Jim Morrison and the snarling gravel of the Strokes.

NORTH GREENFIELD, Ind. -- Steven Tyler says he meant to sing the national anthem like that.

The Aerosmith frontman and "American Idol" judge endured plenty of jabs after his rendition of the anthem at the AFC Championship game last month, but Tyler says he doesn't understand what all the fuss was about.

"I don't know. As I said before, I put emphasis on, `In the land of the free' and I went up," Tyler explained. "Oddly enough I hit the note so I don't know what they are talking about. I emphasized `free' which was for freedom. It was well thought out prior to. I wasn't messing with American tradition."

At this year's NAMM convention in Anaheim, Calif., Martin Guitars unveiled a special model guitar in honor of one of the most iconic groups from the '60s, the Mamas and the Papas.

The story behind it is special, as is the woman who was on hand to sit and play the guitar, the lone surviving member of the group, Michelle Phillips. The project began when Martin's CEO saw a PBS documentary on the Mamas and the Papas and noticed how many of the company's guitars they used. They focused on a specific guitar that was featured on an old 45 sleeve, and recreated it with inlays featuring the signatures of Phillips and her late bandmates. Spinner sat down with Michelle to discuss the limited-edition guitar and her band's legacy.

Tell us about the guitar.

This is the guitar that John Phillips always played onstage all the time. It's a big, full-bodied guitar. I was really touched that Martin decided to do this. John always played Martins in the Journeymen, his other folk group, then on to the Mamas and the Papas. Always Martins. I was so touched when Martin called me to say they wanted to do a special series to commemorate the Mamas and the Papas. And can you believe they put out little figures in mother of pearl?

I gave one to my daughter Chynna and one to my son Austin with the promise that they can never be lent out or sold! And I still have a 1926 Martin at home

Adam Lambert is on a roll! After premiering the amazing new music video for his 'Trespassing' lead single 'Better Than I Know Myself' today (Feb. 3), the singer has confirmed that he's set to join legendary rock band Queen as the group's new frontman!

Rumors of Lambert's candidacy first started circulating back in December when drummer Roger Taylor sung the 'American Idol' star's praises in an interview with Billboard. "He has grown into a really great performer with an astonishing voice with a range that's great. We would like to work with him again. There's nothing signed just yet but we're talking about live dates. It could be very exciting." Lambert teamed up with the rockers for a live performance on the 'American Idol' Season 8 finale, and again at the 2011 MTV EMAs.

The lead singer of Question Mark and the Mysterians, the garage rock titans best known for their 1966 hit '96 Tears,' is outraged that a 17-year-old cancer survivor has been suspended from his Michigan high school for having hair longer than school rules permit.

This is not a case of teen rebellion, either -- J.T. Gaskins was growing out his hair for Locks of Love, a charity that makes hairpieces for young cancer patients who have lost their hair from chemotherapy and/or radiation treatment.

"I think it's kind of stupid, because the school really should have made bandanas to get the hair out of eyes for Locks of Love," Question Mark told The Flint Journal on Feb. 2. "I think all the students should get involved and not just one student. I think it would be a whole lot better if the school got behind him and promoted this."

By this time, you either love Lana Del Rey or you can't stand her. Either way, there's no chance of the puffy-lipped lady leaving the spotlight anytime soon -- she still has the rest of the world to conquer. On Thursday night, Del Rey made a powerful ally in funnyman David Letterman, as the talk show host was positively smitten with the Internet sensation.

"Can you come back tomorrow?" Letterman asked an extremely shy, yet oddly flirtatious Del Rey. The singer brushed off Letterman's compliments of her performance but willfully agreed to be Letterman's muse for the moment. "And Monday?" he asked. Despite her self-conscious appearance on 'SNL,' Del Rey's performance last night definitely was not terrible.
